Granny J just published a new pack containing 14 high-end, functioning watches - ALL with built-in animation.

So what's the secret?
Every month in 2018, Granny J will add at least one (if not more) new watches to the pack (& the only place where this secret is posted is HERE on this forum page).  So, if you purchase the pack all you have to do every month to get the additionally added new watches is to download the pack again (make sure you select OVERWRITE so that you don't start getting multiple versions of the same watches in your content inventory).
Each of these watches have built-in animation (it is recommended that you change your frame length to a minimum of 3200 when loading the watches to your character).  Once in the scene, you can edit the start time by first making sure you are in FRAME #1, then right click on the watch & select "edit animation layer".  Then select the minute hand or hour hand and use the ROTATE gizmo to place them at the start time desired. Then press the play button & voila, the watch will proceed telling time from that point.  You can also speed up or slow down the movement of the hands in the timeline animation layer.  See complete instructions for adjusting start time & watch movement speed on the pack page.

@GrannyJ - Funny, because when I showed that first batch to my wife, she said, "That's NICE, but I was hoping for a LONGINES!" :laugh:lol  ~V~

@Rogue Anime - I hope she likes the new additions :D:);)

There are now 23 functional watches in the pack - at 1199 DA points, that's less than 50 DA points per watch! For those who purchased the pack earlier, they got everything for even less.  There will be at least 6 if not more watches added to the pack during 2018....  Each time watches are added, you just have to download the pack once more & click on "OVERWRITE" & the new watches will be added to your iClone Content.
By GrannyJ - 7 Years Ago
There are now 25 watches in the pack - & every one of them functions as if they were the real deal.  The pack page has instructions on how you can set the start time on each watch.....
https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/8a4b2928-7273-4642-b120-58fd.png

At year end, I will stop adding watches & the pack price will increase to 1499 DA points - for those who got the pack earlier, they get every watch at the reduced price.

Nice work Granny J, very cool idea.
Just curious: what's the most common use of these watches that you'd envision? Is it e.g. for a VR game so you could look at your character's wrist and see the time?
By animagic - 7 Years Ago
Very cool. I missed these somehow and just added them to my inventory.
By GrannyJ - 7 Years Ago
Thanks for the feedback @animagic

I just figured they would be cool for multiple purposes, like in a scene where folks are checking the time (or maybe synchronizing their watches); or a dating scene where one party is waiting checking time & the other hurrying because they are late, checking the time, etc....  or for any other purpose where you'd want an avatar checking the time without using the same watch for every avatar or each film....  I guess there are many possibilities:)

Wow Granny J! These are SO nice - I'll get them...
HOWEVER... the wife told me she was HOPING for a 'Longines' LOL:laugh:  ~V~

There are now 29 watches in the pack & no additional watches added. January 1st, 2019, the pack price will increase to 1499 DA points (it's currently 1299 DA points).
If you have previously purchased the pack, download the pack again from your inventory & make sure you select OVERWRITE to avoid duplicates.
